How we operate
Providing tailored route to market solutions to help your brand expand internationally

Assess the market potential and define international expansion strategies
Recommend and set-up the turnkey go-to-market model
Lead market development and manage the brand’s daily operations
Scope : Consumer, Brand & Route to Market
During the assessment phase, we will consider consumer & category trends, competitive landscape, packaging requirement, channels and customers.
We will then be able to develop the most optimal route to market for your brand by Channel/Customer in line with Category growth vision and identify the right partners to launch your Brand.
And not only will we define, but we will also implement the route to market strategy and establish your brand identity within selected markets through the use of existing (or yet to be created) marketing assets through various communication channels (Digital, offline, PR) and trade activation.
As part of our mission, we follow-up and monitor the commercial performance on a day-to-day basis which includes giving you, as brand owner, full visibility on your brand’s progress.
You are obviously involved in each step of the process !
